Shred the chicken, discarding any fat, skin, bone and gristle. Put in a bowl and add the apple and raisins. Mix the lime, mayo and cream and season really well.Add to the chicken and toss.

Drain the potatoes and pat dry using a clean tea towel. Heat some oil no more than 1/3 full in a large pan and heat to 180C, or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Add the potatoes and fry until crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper.
